Friday Funny: Man Stumbles Into 'Some Sort of China Town'
<p>In this article from <em>The Onion</em> a New York man wandering through town suddenly finds himself in a very Chinese part of town.</p>
"When I left the house this morning, little did I know what wonders I'd uncover. Hidden in the middle of fast and modern downtown New York was one of the strangest, most puzzling places I had ever laid eyes upon. From the weird Chinese-like writing on the storefronts to the odd Chinese-looking people on the streets-I know this may sound crazy, but it was almost as if I'd stepped into some kind of 'Chinese Town.'"
"I don't know any other way to describe it."
